Who we are & what we do
We are an indie game studio based in Chicago, IL. Well, to be technical, right now ‘we’ are one crazy guy (yours truly) and the collective voices in his head.
Our goal is increasing the fun you have playing games – here’s how we’re doing it:
1. Get creative
Break the rules to create something better.
When underdogs choose not to play by Goliath’s rules, they win – Malcolm Gladwell
2. Work smarter
Ideas and innovation are the foundations of a great game; there is no required headcount or budget for creativity.
“Five Antonio Salieris won’t produce Mozart’s Requiem. Ever. Not if they work for 100 years.” — Joel Spolsky
3. Keep it simple
More features don’t make a better game, just a game with more features.
So I call it the “Covert Action Rule”. Don’t try to do too many games in one package. And that’s actually done me a lot of good..Focus on what the game is. – Sid Meier
4. Make our ideas reality
People can’t play ideas; only take credit for what is delivered.
“The most brilliant idea, with no execution, is worth $20… The most brilliant idea takes great execution to be worth $20,000,000.” – Derek Sivers, president and programmer, CD Baby and HostBaby
